April Flowers

If you recall, I make it a point to buy fresh flowers once a month.  These have been around for about a week and half and are still holding strong.  I don't want to declare what they are, because I'm not certain but I'm sure one of you smart cookies can fill us in?

Also-thank you for the new suit happiness.  I had another suit of the same style just not the color and I did love it.  It held up very well and never rolled, flipped or did anything you wouldn't want a suit to do.  So yes, I highly recommend the suits.  If you place an order and need a consultant's name, go with Beverly Jones.  ;)

Someone asked if I had any other cool secret websites to share.  Try ModCloth.  I found it a couple months ago via the delightful Danielle Thompson.  (A link worth visiting in its own right.)  I haven't actually purchased anything from there yet, but I'm sure I will soon.  Do you guys have any cool, unknown websites you're willing to share?  Clothes, books, makeup (I'm searching for a great, healthy for your skin brand of face cleaners and moisturizers), knick knacks, vintage items etc.. etc..  Please share!

Also-there is a two part interview ala moi over at the fabric.com blog.  Part 1 posted today, part 2 tomorrow!

I'm not certain, but I think the flower is called "stock". Not a pretty name for such a pretty and sweet smelling flower!

[Kim McBirnie]

It's difficult to tell, but they look like delphiniums to me. Don't know if you know them by a different name in the US?
Have you seen the Twilight film yet - and if so what did you think? (I read the books after your recommendation!)

It looks like stock to me too. Yummy!

[Lola...again]

It is stock! ....at least that is what we call it at the floral. It has such a great smell, and you can eat it too. I have eaten it on salad before (really!) It kind of tastes like a raddish.

[Kristin]

Another vote for stock! :) Such a pretty flower....one of my faves!

[Amber]

I love Danielle Thompson's blog - so beautiful.

Have you seen these skin products:
http://www.mychelle.com/

I've used them before and really like them.

[Stephanie]

I think they are stock, they have a beautiful scent, one of my favourite flowers scents.

[barbara@quiltsoup]

I think the flowers are stock. You are looking mighty glamorous these days. Keep up the good work. I look forward to chatting you up at the next quilt market.We have many mutual friends.

[Angel]

I think you're so cool, such a lovely person and an inspiration. :)

[Kerith]

I love layersclothing.com and dhccare.com. DHC has olive oil based skin care line which works great on my skin. I sure wish I knew what those flowers are. What a great idea to buy fresh flowers once a month!

[Rory]

I get all my cool stuff from etsy. I did find a cool photography blog for moms called momtog.com

PS..love danielle thompson

[Maranda]

Lovely flowers and a great interview:)

[{lauryl}]

Friendly florist checking in and yes, most of your commenters are correct: you definitely have yourself some stock there. I've always thought it was such a disappointing name for such a pretty flower...

[mo]

I think it is stock. Do they smell sort of like carnations? If so, they are stock. I love that smell! I use Boscia Intensive Night Moisture. I get it at Sephora and it is great. I have very very sensitive skin and this works really well. And it smells niiiice.

Sandi, Thanks for the plug. You might also mention that readers can use party #1360 at checkout to save 10% on three or more items. Also, take a peek at my favorite shoe site www.endless.com. Free shipping on most shoes and free return shipping if they don't fit as expected, etc. I'm addicted.

I just checked out the layersclothing.com and it is a FABULOUS site!!! Now I just need to get down to an XL size... (I am currently a XXL ) Keep them coming!!

[Kimberly C.]

Isn't this Sandi H fabric on the Ottobre design Magazine site!?

That's awesome!

Congrats on your interview, it is always fun to get to know people. I loved that swim suit, especially the color...you know it is suppose to be the universal color, everyone is suppose to be able to wear that color.....as far as skin care, I have recently found Neutrogena oil free eye make-up remover and moistuizer (Walmart) that I quite like! :)

[Jen]

I just got some more of your fabulous fabric in today and the ruffle pants pattern!! YAY! I can NOT wait to make them. Beautiful flowers and I am glad to know the name, I want some!! :) A friend of mine *makes* facial cleanser and such that is all organic. I don't have her link right off hand but I will find it.

[Roni]

I just read the fabric.com blog post. Congratulations on your book! I can't wait to see it! When will it come out, and who is publishing it?

[Missy Severson]

I love Philosophy skin care. http://www.philosophy.com/web/store/dept_skincare____23503?cm_re=navigation-_-mainnav-_-skincare

I read about it in a magazine and decided to try it. Sephora sells it and I have found great kits at great prices at QVC too.
I have been using it for several months and it makes my skin feel amazing.
